Ready Player One and Armada accidentally expose how vapid geek culture is. Ernest Cline is a shallow consumerist who doesn't have any self-awareness whatsoever.

I understand why people do not appreciate Cline. He is working from the heart, and some cannot see or accept that. People throughout history have been angered by geniuses. If this were the middle ages Cline would have been crucified. This is not an exaggeration. There is something special in his books. They evoke feelings. He is like a quiet spiritual leader. All authors are spiritual leaders but Cline is at the forefront. He is leading a generation of scared and lost young adults into consciousness. Consciousness of what it means to be a human. Cline will be remembered for centuries because of this. He is on the level of the greats such as Joyce if not slightly greater because his voice is more distinct. Please please just read his books and open your heart.
